QJ71C24-R2

GX Configurator -SC Version 2 is

ideal in these features!

Protocol FB Reduces programming steps.

Debugging Is improved by line monitor and communication test.

Features (1) QJ71C24N, QJ71C24N-R2, QJ71C24N-R4 Serial Communication Modules (a) Upto 230,400 bps transmission speed The total speed for 2 channels is now 230,400 bps. *1 Thus, using 2 channels simultaneously enables high-speed communication at a maximum speed of 115,200 bps for each channel. *1 230,400 bps is available only for the CH1 side.

(b) Support for circuit trace and communication test of GX Configurator-SC Version 2 GX Configurator-SC Version 2 together with the QJ71C24N (-R2/R4) allows the circuit trace function to monitor the send/receive data. The communication test function of GX Configurator-SC Version 2 also reduces debugging steps.

(2) GX Configurator-SC Version 2 The GX Configurator-SC Version 2 utility software makes communication control programming and debugging easier for the QJ71C24N (-R2/R4). *2 *2 The QJ71C24 and QJ71C24-R2 are also supported. (See “GX Configurator-SC Version 2 and Functional Range applicable models.”)

(a) Protocol FB function [1] Function blocks (FB) reduce communication control program steps. Without creating complicated sequence programs, equivalent function block programs can be created only by making simple on-screen settings. By incorporating the created function blocks into existing sequence programs, programming steps can be reduced.

GX Configurator-SC Version2

(Including Protocol FB Function)

Set packet information, packet data and PLC information on each screen.

Convert to FB

GX Developer Version8

Paste a function block from the project tree to a program by drag and drop.

[2] Support for function blocks to communicate with controllers manufactured by other companies Controllers manufactured by other companies are supported by providing function blocks preset with the packet information, packet data, and PLC information required for communication. This eliminates the requirement for any additional special settings.

(b) Debug function Debugging work at system startup can be simplified by using the debug support function. [Circuit trace] [Status monitor]

Available for QJ71C24N (-R2/R4) only

Checks the module status.

Traces the send/receive packet data on a communication line and the status of the communication signal line.

PULL

QJ71C24N (-R2/R4)

External device

[Communication test] Available for QJ71C24N (-R2/R4) only

Tests the communication by sending user-specified packet data to the external device.
